Obel The Kingdom of Obel was one of the most powerful kingdoms in the Island Nations before the unification. It is located in the southeastern portion of the Island Nations. It holds many ruins, including one which has housed the Rune of Punishment. In the year 290, pirates ambushed the Royal Entourage. The Queen of Obel uses the power of the Rune of Punishment to stop the pirates from destroying the Entourage, she sacrificed her life to the rune in the process. During the Kooluk Expansion in the year 305, Obel saw the Punishment Rune host, Hero IV. Obel was attacked by Kooluk during his stay there. While King Lino En Kuldes was out defending Obel Hero IV unleashed the power of the rune on the Koolulk ships. Obel couldn't with stand another attack so Lino ordered Hero IV to round up people to escape the Island on the secret ship Lino ordered Tov to build. The ship blew a hole in the wharf so the ship could escape, they made it but were forced to leave Princess Flare and Setsu behind. They returned to take the island with a bigger force than what they left with and were successful. After the war, Obel became the centre of diplomacy for the Island Nations. Kooluk Empire The Kooluk empire is located directly south of the Scarlet Moon Empire, and directly north of the Island Nations federation. Kooluk has always been enemies with the Scarlet Moon Empire, and the Gaien Dukedom. The empire is ruled loosely and could easily be convinced to do anything, like Graham Cray's plans. The Kooluk Empire attacked the Kingdom of Obel in the year 290 and attacked the royal entourage. In the year 298 Kooluk attacked Gaien. During this war Gaien attacked the fort of El-Eal and by the ambitions of the "child of the sea god", Troy, Gaien's forces were annihilated. During the Kooluk Southern Expansion, Graham Cray's trading company sided with Kooluk to expand Kooluk into the Island Nations. Cray tested a giant rune cannon on the Island of Iluya, totally destroying the town that was on it. Kooluk took the Kingdom of Obel, and Razril until Hero IV's army took them back for the Island Nations. Fort El-Eal was destroyed after Hero IV's army attacked it. After the war was over, the Scarlet Moon Empire started an invasion of Kooluk after learning its evil intentions. Razril Razril is a part of Gaien. Even though the Knights of Gaien are posted here Gaien doesn't count them as being part of their country. Razril has a knight's castle, located at the edge of the town and a backstreet located in the middle; it is usually full of pirates. Headed by the skilled Commander Glen Cott and his Vice-Commander sorceress Katarina, the navy of Gaien was nearly unmatched with their method of communication: nasel birds. However, that secret was found out and Razril was attacked by the Kooluk. They were repelled by Commander Glen (who was then the bearer of the Rune of Punishment), but Razril fell when the new commander, Snowe Vingerhut, sold out Razril to the Kooluk in exchange for them not becoming slaves. Gaien never sent aid to reclaim Razril, but the navy of the Island Nations was able to route the Kooluk fleet and reclaim Razril. Razril gained independence from Gaien after the fall of Kooluk. Katarina became the new Commander and selected the strategist knight Keneth to be the new Vice-Commander. Middleport Owned by the illustrious businessman Stoltheim Reinbach II, Middleport used to be part of Gaien until seven years previous to Suikoden IV, when they gained independence. It was a centre of commerce, and dealt freely with trade with both Kooluk and the Island nations navy. They did not officially join either alliance, but allowed both Kooluk and the Island Nations to have unrestricted harbour and trade access. Iluya Iluya was virtually destroyed by a large Rune Cannon blast during the Koolulk Southern Expansion. Iluya also served as a base for Kooluk's forces during the expansion. After the blast there was always rain around the Island that never stopped. After the war Iluya was rebuild by survivors and Stars of Destiny of Hero IV's army. Nay A peaceful island that attracted many older residents, and repels the younger ones (most of them leave to live a far more exciting life in Obel). Nay stayed out of the war between Kooluk and the Island Nations initially. However, after debris and residents from Illuya displaced from the Rune Cannon blast washed up on the shores of Nay, they agreed to help the Island Nations Army fight Koolulk. This island is known for it's settlement of Nay-Kobolds, cat-like creatures that co-exist peacefully with humans. Na-Nal An island known for their strong warriors, Na-Nal was taken over early into the Kooluk invasion. However, the commander, Troy. took over the island very peacefully. It wasn't until the Island Nations army came in and attacked the Kooluk that Na-Nal was in trouble. Na-Nal planned to give the soldiers a powerful elven remedy, but the remedy turned out to be a toxic poison, a trick played by the elves to punish the leader of Na-Nal for selling the island, and the Kooluk attacked in retaliation. The Island Nations army defended Na-Nal, and after that Na-Nal pledged their support. Deserted Island An uninhabited island in the middle of the sea, it is frequented by mermaids, who play here away from humans. But humans found out about it, and the Cray Trading Company caught them to kill them and sell their hides. Gaien The never-seen Dukedom of Gaien is the largest area in the Island Nations. It owned Razril and Middleport, but seven years prior to Suikoden IV, the nation lost Middleport. During the Island Nations War, Razril was invaded and Gaien did not send any aid to help them. After the Kooluk were wiped out, Razril became independent. Mordo Island Mordo Island is located North West of Obel. Mordo is full of buried treasure. The people who run the bath house always cheat out their customers when they come to take a bath. During the Kooluk Southern Expansion Snowe was found floating on a log near the island. Donut Island Donut Island is shaped like a donut hence the name Donut Island. Rene the treasure hunter sent off a bottle with a message in it from this island to see if anyone could find her. This island is also full of treasure. Limestone Shelves Limestone Shelves is an island full of rock called Limestone. There is a large waterfall that runs down the rocks in the middle of the island. This island is also full of treasure. Mountain Mass Island Mountain Mass Island is located exactly north of Razril and South of the Scarlet Moon Empire. This island is full of Mountains and treasure. An old ship crashed on this island a long time ago. Pirate's Nest The Pirates Nest is the home base for the pirates of the Island Nations. The pirates drink and keep are the treasure they get here. Hermitage Island Hut or Hermitage Island is located directly west of the Pirates Nest. The famous strategist from the Scarlet Moon Empire, Elenor Silverberg, lived here.
